Roasted Vegetable and Kale Salad by Unknown Chef

Saturday morning is my time to grocery shop. Will change to mid-week when I retire. It is easy to overlook Saturday and Sunday lunches because of weekend errands so I make a note on the menu pad to plan for weekend lunches. We eat lite lunches. Salads fit the bill. I decided to pick up a bunch of veggies to incorporate as a…

Chicken Salad Florentine With Garlic and Lemon Vinaigrette by Yoko Kitahira

What makes this recipe rather unique among thousands of other look-alike salad recipes is the way I leave roasted garlic unsｔained after ground with the food processor. I believe most professional chefs prefer the strained liquid to the unstrained one because they hate to see sediment-like black spots that float in the liquid to be…

Roasted Plum Bacon & Feta Salad by Now We're Cooking!

Great for picnics served on a croissant, in a pita or on top of greens. Prepare the size of chicken and veg based on what you are using it for.... shred small and dice…

Amaranth and Roast Veggie Salad by Leaine's Kitchen

Amaranth is a gluten free grain, which I stumbled upon quite by accident. I knew nothing about Amaranth - I had never even heard of it before. So, I did what any self respecting person would do and I googled it (after I bought it and took it home that is).It is a tiny grain, which I assumed would fluff up like couscous, but it doesn't…

Roasted Vegetable Salad by Mary Joseph

This can be prepared the day before (recommended). Just be sure to take it out of the fridge about 10 minutes before serving so it comes to room temperature.
